Thanks for a Successful Ski Swap, Work Party Day and AGM last month.

Posted by

The last couple of weekends of October were busy ones at Telemark.

On Saturday Oct 23rd we held our annual ski swap at Kelowna Cycle.  The swap raised an incredible $7000 for our Competitive Youth Program – a new record by far.  Thanks  to all the volunteers who helped make it run smoothly, to Kelowna Cycle for hosting the swap and to all the people who consigned and/or  purchased equipment.

On Saturday Oct 30th more than 75  volunteers joined us at Telemark for our annual work party  to help us get ready for the coming winter.  Lots of great projects got done… from firewood splitting to fence/bench painting to rental room organizing to trail brushing and more. After all the work was done we hosted a free bbq.  Thanks to everybody for all the work. Bring on the snow!

Right after the work party and bbq we held our AGM here we reported on the successes of the last year and  confirmed out new Board of Directors  Three new directors have joined the Board to replace three departing directors.  The new directors are Sandy Redman – Race Team Liaison Director and Jamie Sprules & Colin McGuinness -Directors at Large. We are looking forward to putting the new directors to work over the next year. To  see a full list of directors please Click here.
